• Identify (more) Applications• Encrypted P2P• Anonymous Proxies
• Integrate with AD and/or LDAP• Keep pace with changes in technology• Ease of use – administration & reporting
• One administrator, many boxes• Different tropes (?) for different folks• Plays well with others
Next-Generation Requirements
Set firewall policies based on application, regardless of port, protocol, SSL encryption, or other evasive tactic. Palo Alto Networks currently offers over 1,000 layer-7 signatures, as well as IPS and URL Filtering capabilities.
Next-Gen At the Edge
Exinda’s shaping solution offers over 2,500 application signatures, a heuristics engine to catch encrypted P2P traffic, and significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership than legacy shapers.
